Cupcake Components

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Make the Stuffing

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and sauté until soft. Stir in the fresh sage, salt, and pepper. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the bread cubes until fully absorbed and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Whipped Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and fluffy. Let cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Cupcakes

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner with the stuffing mixture, packing it slightly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and heated through.

  4. 4

    Top with Whipped Potatoes

    Once the stuffing cupcakes are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Use a piping bag to pipe the whipped potatoes on top of each cupcake.

  5. 5

    Add Cranberry Sprinkles and Gravy

    Sprinkle dried cranberries over the whipped potatoes. Drizzle with warm dark meat turkey gravy before serving.
